PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE: Sources sought to design and construct for complete repair to leak in 12 inch cement lined steel waterline located near Area 22 at Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, California. Work shall also include all necessary surface repair, improvements, and related site and off-site work. Work shall include the design and construction of the following: Leak Repair Site: The work includes the design, engineering and construction for repair to leak in 12 inch cement lined steel waterline located adjacent to the Santa Margarita River, near area 22. The waterline is a hole in a welded joint of a pipe that is located approximately 33 feet below the ground surface and approximately 15 to 25 feet below the watertable; Water Treatment Pipe Repair Site: Repair of 12 inch cement lined waterline located adjacent to the water treatment plant along Vandegrift Boulevard. Install approximately 4 feet of new 12 inch waterline to replace pipe that was removed for camera access. Also replace pipe bedding, remove and salvage existing box shoring and reinstall existing gate valve can, cover and extension. Repair existing A.C. driveway and berm. Provide all necessary testing requirement including pressures, disinfection tests and procedures. The existing 12-inch diameter pipe is a 0.25-inch welded steel pipe per AWWA C200 with 3/8-inch cement lining per AWWA C205 and butt welded joints per AWWA C206. The pipe is undercoated with a blend of rubber, asphalt, and high molecular weight resins with a polyethylene copolymer sheath complete and ready for use. Special Conditions: Analyze alternative construction methods to accomplish project goals using the most environmentally sensitive method for completion of the project. Alternative construction methods need to be used to avoid impacts to wetlands, sensitive habitat areas and endangered species. The sensitive environmental area (riparian area) is located approximately fifty (50) feet north of Vandegrift Boulevard. Any work conducted in the disturbed area between 15 September to 14 February will not create any environmental impacts. Work conducted in the riparian habitat or during the breeding season, 15 February to 31 August, must be mitigated. Evaluation will analyze schedule and mitigation measures for the alternative methods. The site design and construction shall take into account, that existing Eucalyptus, Palm Trees and trees over 12 inch in diameter shall be protected and saved. The Santa Margarita River is noted for flooding and serious erosion. The existing pipeline was installed by boring method. -- The contract is to be awarded to the responsible offeror who submits the proposal considered most advantageous to the Government considering "Price" and "Technical" evaluation factors.
